Attirant enfin Tattention du Gouvernement iranien et des Puissances
democratiques du monde sur les questions susmentionnees, le Congres declare ne
vouloir employer que des moyens de propagande et d’organisation pour arriver
a ses buts pacifiquement et ne permettre en aucune fa^on ni dispute ni guerre
interieure a moins que le Gouvernement central ne veuille pi^tiner ses droits
legitimes par contrainte et force armee. Dans ce cas, il defendra ses droits a
tout prix et combattra jusqu’a la derniere personne pour imposer enfin son
autonomie nationale coute que coute.
L’Assemble constitutionnelle a done donn£ carte blanche au “ Comite
national ” d’entrer en pourparlers avec les autorites competentes pour assurei
Tautonomie d’Azerbaidjan et d’en obtenir la solution pacifiquement; mais le
“ Comite national ’ ’ ne peut en aucune fagon passer outre des droits de I’autonomie
regionale et du Gouvernement national, ni faire quoi que ce soit contre 1’integrity
territoriale et I’independance de I’lran.
Nous voudrions que le monde democrate sache qu’il existe un peuple sur le globe
qui s’est prepare a defendre ses droits de tout son pouvoir pour dresser le pavilion
de la liberte sur un coin de TAsie et qu’il est decide d’assurer son autonomie
par son energie nationale et nous esperons que les autorites competentes iraniennes
et les Puissances democratiques de 1’univers ne nous epargneront pas leur gracieux
concours dans la realisation de notre but national, qui est base, du reste, sur le
Pacte de I’Atlantique.
Avec ses considerations distinguees :
La Direction du Congres national (Assemblee constitutionnelle
nationale) de 1’Azerbaidjan.
